CARRIER HIGH TEMPERATURE HEAT PUMPS LAUNCHED

Carrier has introduced a comprehensive new line of high temperature and very high temperature heat pumps for use in industrial , commercial and public buildings and district heating . Carrier is a part of Carrier Global Corporation .
Designed to reduce both carbon emissions and energy costs , the new line consists of AquaForce and AquaSnap air and water source heat pumps with varying capacities from 30 to 735 kW and water temperatures from 82 to 120⁰C with low global warming potential ( GWP ) hydrofluoroolefin refrigerants . The high temperatures enable the heat pumps to replace fossil fuel boilers in heating applications such as apartment blocks and residential estates , commercial buildings , food manufacturing , industrial drying , biogas production and chemical plants . These innovative products support Carrier ’ s 2030 environmental , social and governance ( ESG ) goal of reducing its customers ’ carbon footprint by more than 1 gigaton .
In addition to harnessing heat from ambient air and the ground , the heat pumps capture wasted heat from a wide range of sources , including data centres , leisure facilities , hotels and restaurants , process water , flue gases and sewage systems . Heat collected can be used for comfort heating and domestic hot water production in large buildings and facilities . The heat pumps can also be applied in industrial applications , and in district and local heating networks where high temperatures or very high temperatures are required .
